CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/768,802, filed Nov. 16, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an improved, efficient, scalable process to prepare intermediate compounds, such as compound 5M, having the structure

useful for the synthesis of compounds that inhibit KRAS G12C mutations.

BACKGROUND

KRAS gene mutations are common in pancreatic cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, gall bladder cancer, thyroid cancer, and bile duct cancer. KRAS mutations are also observed in about 25% of patients with NSCLC, and some studies have indicated that KRAS mutations are a negative prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC. Recently, V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations have been found to confer resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted therapies in colorectal cancer; accordingly, the mutational status of KRAS can provide important information prior to the prescription of TKI therapy. Taken together, there is a need for new medical treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, or colorectal cancer, especially those who have been diagnosed to have such cancers characterized by a KRAS mutation, and including those who have progressed after chemotherapy.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds disclosed herein can be manufactured in a conventional manner, e.g., by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.

For oral administration, suitable compositions can be formulated readily by combining a compound disclosed herein with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as carriers well known in the art. Such excipients and carriers enable the present compounds to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by adding a compound as disclosed herein with a solid excipient, optionally grinding a resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include, for example, fillers and cellulose preparations. If desired, disintegrating agents can be added. Pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients are well known for the various types of formulation and may be for example binders (e.g., natural or synthetic polymers), lubricants, surfactants, sweetening and flavoring agents, coating materials, preservatives, dyes, thickeners, adjuvants, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants and carriers for the various formulation types.

When a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein is administered orally, the composition typically is in the form of a solid (e.g., tablet, capsule, pill, powder, or troche) or a liquid formulation (e.g., aqueous suspension, solution, elixir, or syrup).

When administered in tablet form, the composition can additionally contain a functional solid and/or solid carrier, such as a gelatin or an adjuvant. The tablet, capsule, and powder can contain about 1 to about 95% compound, and preferably from about 15 to about 90% compound.

When administered in liquid or suspension form, a functional liquid and/or a liquid carrier such as water, petroleum, or oils of animal or plant origin can be added. The liquid form of the composition can further contain physiological saline solution, sugar alcohol solutions, dextrose or other saccharide solutions, or glycols. When administered in liquid or suspension form, the composition can contain about 0.5 to about 90% by weight of a compound disclosed herein, and preferably about 1 to about 50% of a compound disclosed herein. In one embodiment contemplated, the liquid carrier is non-aqueous or substantially non-aqueous. For administration in liquid form, the composition may be supplied as a rapidly-dissolving solid formulation for dissolution or suspension immediately prior to administration.

When a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein is administered by intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection, the composition is in the form of a pyrogen-free, parenterally acceptable aqueous solution. The preparation of such parenterally acceptable solutions, having due regard to pH, isotonicity, stability, and the like, is within the skill in the art. A preferred composition for intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection typically contains, in addition to a compound disclosed herein, an isotonic vehicle. Such compositions may be prepared for administration as solutions of free base or pharmacologically acceptable salts in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions also can be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations can optionally contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

Injectable compositions can include sterile aqueous solutions, suspensions, or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions, suspensions, or dispersions. In all embodiments the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must resist the contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, by optional inclusion of a preservative. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. In one embodiment contemplated, the carrier is non-aqueous or substantially non-aqueous. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size of the compound in the embodiment of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many embodiments, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compounds in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the embodiment of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.

Slow release or sustained release formulations may also be prepared in order to achieve a controlled release of the active compound in contact with the body fluids in the GI tract, and to provide a substantially constant and effective level of the active compound in the blood plasma. For example, release can be controlled by one or more of dissolution, diffusion, and ion-exchange. In addition, the slow release approach may enhance absorption via saturable or limiting pathways within the GI tract. For example, the compound may be embedded for this purpose in a polymer matrix of a biological degradable polymer, a water-soluble polymer or a mixture of both, and optionally suitable surfactants. Embedding can mean in this context the incorporation of micro-particles in a matrix of polymers. Controlled release formulations are also obtained through encapsulation of dispersed micro-particles or emulsified micro-droplets via known dispersion or emulsion coating technologies.

The resulting suspension from vessel B was agitated for more than three hours and then filtered into vessel C. To vessel B, a methyl tert-butyl ether (46.9 L, 1.0 L/kg) rinse was charged and then filtered into vessel C. The contents of vessel C were cooled to 10° C. and then distilled under vacuum while slowly being warmed to 35° C. Distillation was continued until 320-350 kg (6.8-7.5 kg/kg) of methyl tert-butyl ether was collected. After cooling the contents of vessel C to 20° C., n-Heptane (278.7 L, 5.9 L/kg) was charged over one hour and then distilled under vacuum while slowly being warmed to 35° C. Distillation was continued until a 190-200 kg (4.1-4.3 kg/kg) mixture of methyl tert-butyl ether and n-Heptane was collected. After cooling the contents of vessel C to 20° C., n-Heptane (278.7 L, 5.9 L/kg) was charged a second time over one hour and then distilled under vacuum while slowly being warmed to 35° C. Distillation was continued until a 190-200 kg (4.1-4.3 kg/kg) mixture of methyl tert-butyl ether and n-Heptane was collected. After cooling the contents of vessel C to 20° C., n-Heptane (195.9 L, 4.2 L/kg) was charged a third time over one hour and then sampled for solvent composition by GC analysis.

The first-generation process highlighted above has been successfully scaled on 200+ kg of rac-dione starting material (Compound 5). In this process, seeding the crystallization with the thermodynamically-stable rac-dione crystal form (which exhibits low solubility) would cause a batch failure. Based on our subsequent studies, we found that increasing the DBTA equivalents and lowering the seed temperature by adjusting heptane charge schedule improves robustness of the process. The improved process is resistant to the presence of the thermodynamically-stable rac-dione crystal form and promotes successful separation of atropisomers. Subsequent batches will incorporate the improved process for large scale manufacture.

Resolution of the M-Dione Compound 5

Chromatographic Resolution of M-Dione Intermediate

Numerous chiral chromatographic techniques and methods were used to isolate the M-dione from Compound 4. The techniques and stationary phases are well known in the art and are outlined in Table 1.

Additional mobile phases used for purification included: 1) 25/75 methanol/CO₂, 2) 30/70 methanol/CO₂, and 3) 50/50 methanol/CO₂. The SFC, HPLC, and SMB techniques are well known in the art and the Chiralpak ® stationary phases are commercially available from commercial sources, such as Fisher Scientific and Daicel Corporation.

However, it is desired to develop a more efficient process to isolate the M-Dione (Compound 5).

Classical Resolution

The present invention is directed to the development of a viable classical resolution process for M/P-Dione racemate (Compound 4).

A total of 100 cocrystal screening experiments were performed and three potential cocrystals of Dione were identified. Based on the highest area ratio of M/P-Dione in the residual solid and lowest area ratio in the supernatant, (+)-2, 3-dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid (DBTA) was selected as the chiral reagent for resolution.

According to the results from 100 cocrystal screening experiments and 20 more solvent screening, 2-MeTHF/n-heptane was found to provide a better resolution result than other solvent systems. Based on the solubility results of M-Dione cocrystal and P-Dione cocrystal in different ratios of 2-MeTHF and n-heptane, 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v) was selected as the optimal solvent composition for resolution.

In order to find out any possible form conversion to Dione racemate or M/P-Dione during crystallization process of chiral resolution, the solubility of M-Dione cocrystal, P-Dione cocrystal, M+P-Dione cocrystal mixture (1:1, w/w), Dione racemate and DBTA were determined at different temperatures in 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v). No form change was observed for M-Dione cocrystal and P-Dione cocrystal at different temperatures for 7 days. However, Dione racemate Type C was obtained after stirring of a mixture of M+P-Dione cocrystal mixture (1:1, w/w) at different temperatures for 7 days. Dione racemate Type D (20 and 30° C.) or Dione racemate Type C (40, 50, 60 and 65° C.) were observed after stirring of Dione racemate at corresponding temperatures for 7 days. A solubility of ˜100 mg/mL was observed under all the temperatures for DBTA.

To further optimize the resolution process, the ternary phase diagram of M/P-Dione cocrystal was drawn based on the equilibrium solubility results and no eutectic point was obtained likely because racemate Type C could crystallize out when both M-Dione cocrystal and P-Dione cocrystal were present. Another ternary phase diagram of M/P-Dione was drawn based on the equilibrium solubility results and no eutectic point was obtained likely because Dione racemate Type C or Type D could crystallize out when both M-Dione and P-Dione were present.

In summary, a chiral reagent (DBTA) and a solvent system ((2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v)) were identified for resolution of Dione racemate. Small scale crystallization process using the resolving reagent and solvent system could achieve a yield of 39% and ee purity of 99% for M-Dione. In addition, polymorphism of Dione racemate was observed and investigated during screening experiments.

2 Screening Experiment

2.1 Cocrystal Screening

A total of 100 cocrystal screening experiments were performed using 20 acids and 5 solvent systems (Results summarized in Table 2-1). In general, Dione racemate and acid in the molar ratio at 1:1 was mixed and stirred at RT for 3 days before isolation for XRPD. Based on the XRPD results, three potential acids that could form cocrystals of Dione racemate were identified, including (1S)-(−)-camphanic acid (FIG. 2-2), (+)-2, 3-dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid (FIGS. 2-3) and D-(+)-malic acid (FIG. 2-4). Four new freebase crystal forms were also obtained based on XRPD results, which were assigned as Dione racemate Type B-E.

As showed in Table 2-2, the supernatant and residual solid of the three potential cocrystals were further tested by HPLC. The ratio of M-Dione/P-Dione was measured and summarized in Table 2-2. As a result, DBTA cocrystal showed an area ratio of M-Dione/P-Dione at 0.11 in the supernatant and 4.4 in the residual solid, which suggested that M-Dione and P-Dione showed a good resolution after forming cocrystal with DBTA. Thus, DBTA was selected as the chiral reagent for further resolution optimization.

As listed in Table 2-3, 2-MeTHF showed the best resolution with the M-Dione/P-Dione area ratio of 0.7 in the supernatant and 4.1 in the residual solid. However, 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1:1, v/v) showed a better resolution result during cocrystal screening (Table 2-2), thus 2-MeTHF/n-heptane was selected for further optimization. The area ratio from HPLC of M/P-Dione was collected in different ratios of 2-MeTHF/n-heptane with different acid/base ratios. Results in Table 2-4 showed that higher ratio of acid/FB (2:1 or 1.5:1) in 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (8:1 or 4:1, v/v) is desirable to improve the ratio of M/P-Dione in isolated solids.

The solubility of M-cocrystal and P-cocrystal in different ratios of 2-MeTHF/n-heptane was also performed at 5 and 25° C., which were summarized in Table 2-5. M-cocrystal was provided by client and P-cocrystal was prepared via reverse anti-solvent and anti-solvent (the experimental details refer to Section 4.3). The solubility result in Table 2-5 showed that the volume ratio of 2-MeTHF/n-heptane at 1.5:1 could afford the best resolution at RT. More resolution experiments were performed by client, from which a volume ratio of 1.4:1 showed the best resolution result. Thus, the volume ratio of 2-MeTHF/n-heptane at 1.4:1 was selected as the solvent system for resolution.

Color change was observed at 75 and 80° C. after 5 days suggestive of degradation, so the solubility was not collected. No form change was observed upon stirring of M-cocrystal and P-cocrystal at different temperatures for 7 days (FIGS. 2-5 and FIGS. 2-6). Dione racemate Type C was obtained after stirring of a mixture of M-Dione cocrystal and P-Dione cocrystal mixture (1:1, w/w) at different temperatures for 7 days (FIGS. 2-7). Dione racemate Type D (20 and 30° C.) and Dione racemate Type C (40, 50, 60 and 65° C.) were observed after stirring of Dione racemate at different temperature for 7 days (FIGS. 2-8 and FIGS. 2-9). The 5-day equilibrium solubility of DBTA was set up at different temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 65° C.) in 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v). A solubility of ˜100 mg/mL was observed under all the temperatures. No significant difference was observed with varying temperatures (Table 2-7).

A total of five Dione racemate crystal forms and two cocrystal forms were obtained. All these forms were characterized by XRPD, TGA, DSC, PLM and ¹H NMR and summarized in Table 2-10. The solid state characterization data suggested Dione racemate Type A and Type D were identified as 2-MeTHF solvates, Type B as an acetone solvate, Type C as an anhydrate, and Type E as a MTBE solvate.

Both M-Dione cocrystal Type A and P-Dione cocrystal Type A were found to be as 2-MeTHF solvates. All the characterization data are demonstrated in FIG. 3-1 to FIG. 3-22.

Dione racemate Type B-E were successfully re-produced via slurry of Dione racemate Type A in acetone, H₂O/ACN (1:1, v/v), 2-MeTHF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v) and MTBE/n-heptane (1:1, v/v) at RT, respectively.

Around 5 mg of each Dione racemate forms (Type A-E) were weighed into an HPLC vial, 0.3 mL of saturated Dione racemate solution in 2-MeHTF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v) was added into the vial and the mixture was then stirred at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 65° C. for 5 days.

All the freebase forms converted to Dione racemate Type C via competitive slurry in 2-MeHTF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v) at target temperatures, suggesting Dione racemate Type C is the most thermodynamically stable form in 2-MeHTF/n-heptane (1.4:1, v/v) from 20 to 65° C.

2 g P-dione and 1 g DBTA were dissolved in 18 mL 2-MeTHF at 65° C. to get an almost clear solution. 18 mL heptane was added to this solution in 1 h. The solution was cooled to 20° C. over 4 h and aged overnight. The solution was evaporated using air blow at RT for about 1 h and a yellowish oily-like paste was obtained. Another 54 mL heptane was added to the mixture with stirring for 2 h. The suspension was filtered. The solid sample was assigned as 810465-16-A.

3.2.2 Large Scale

10 g P-dione and 5 g DBTA were dissolved in 100 mL 2-MeTHF at 65° C. The solution was filtered by 0.45 m PTFE filter and a clear solution was obtained. The clear solution was added dropwise to a suspension of 400 mL heptane containing ˜1 g seeds (810465-16-A) produced from the first run. The suspension was kept stirring at RT for 5 h before isolation. About 10 g of the P-Dione cocrystal (810465-20-A) was produced with a yield of ˜66%.

Additional Screening of Compound 5 with 1,3-Diphenyl-3-Oxopropanesulfonic Acid 11b.

Due to the low basicity of the pyridine moiety in compound 5 and the limited ‘hits’ in terms of the formation of crystalline salts using the standard screening set, it was chosen to screen racemic compound 4 with 1,3-diphenyl-3-oxopropanesulfonic acid 11b on a 0.06 mmol scale.

Gram scale resolution of racemic compound 5: A 250 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 2.0 g racemic compound 4 (5.7 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in 200 mL EtOH:AcOH (90:10 v:v). After the material had dissolved, 832 mg of sulfonic acid 11b (2.9 mmol, 0.5 eq.) was added to the solution. The clear solution was left to stir for 15 hours at a stirring speed of 800 rpm. A white precipitate had formed which was isolated from the mother liquor. The isolated salt was suspended in CH₂Cl₂ which was treated with a concentrated aqueous NaHCO₃ solution using a separatory funnel. The organic layer was isolated and the basic aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (2×). The organic layers were combined and dried over Na₂SO₃. Evaporation of the solvent yielded 415 mg of (M)-5 (96% ee) (see FIG. 6-1).

The clear mother liquor was evaporated to dryness. The yellow oily material was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ and treated with a concentrated aqueous NaHCO₃ solution using a separatory funnel. The organic layer was isolated and the basic aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (2×). The organic layers were combined and dried over Na₂SO₃. Evaporation of the solvent yielded 1579 mg of 5 (23% ee in (P)-atropisomer; FIG. 6-2).
